Just a caution about RTV silicone:  never get it anywhere near your fuel system!  I can tell you from personal experience that if it gets into your fuel it will swell up by a factor of about 6 and can potentially cause a blockage.  This is for the clear RTV silicone; there may be variations of the product that are OK with fuel but be sure before you use it.  I had to have a fuel tank on a Cessna removed & flushed because of a mechanic that used RTV as sealant on an access plate.  The #8 attach screws pushed a little slug of RTV into the fuel tank, and each one swelled up into a blob of goo about the size of your thumb.
